Bitcoin and Altcoin Wallets

Since version 6.0.0, the plugin displays its own documentation in the admin screens. Just go to the Wallets Admin Docs menu, where you’ll find the documentation for the plugin, and for any plugin extensions you have installed. Developers can study the PHPdocumentor pages at: https://wallets-phpdoc.dashed-slug.net/

When users issue transactions, these can require verification via an email link by the user. Additionally, you can require that an admin also verifies each transaction. (See “Confirmations” in the documentation). Of course, the plugin is only as secure as your WordPress installation is. You should take extra time to secure your WordPress installation, because it will have access to your hot wallets. At a minimum you should do the following: Install a security plugin such as Wordfence. Read the Codex resources on Hardening WordPress. If you are connecting to an RPC API on a different machine…

This will depend on the Linux distribution on your server. To setup bitcoin core as a service on systemd I used this guide. Here is my /etc/systemd/system/bitcoin.service file: [Unit] Description=Bitcoin wallet service After=network.target StartLimitBurst=5 StartLimitIntervalSec=10 [Service] Type=simple Restart=always RestartSec=1 User=alexg ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/bitcoind [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target You will need to edit the user name to match yours, and possibly the path to your bitcoind binary.

You should also assign more capabilities, such as list_wallet_transactions, send_funds_to_user, and withdraw_funds_from_wallet. You can control the capabilities per user role by navigating to: Settings → Bitcoin and Altcoin Wallets → Capabilities.

Yes, you can use the premium Faucet extension to let users earn crypto by solving CAPTCHAs.

Yes, you can use the premium Exchange extension to create market pairs. However the markets are local only, which means that no liquidity is imported from other exchanges. Read the disclaimers.

No, this plugin is not suitable for token sales. However, you could, of course, setup markets using the Exchange extension, and set a large limit sell order with your admin account. This will allow users to buy your shillcoin. You can even disable buying or selling separately.

Yes, you can use the premium Tip the author extension. This lets you attach a tipping UI to posts/articles. You can control where the tipping UI is shown, by post type, category, tags, or even author. Only authors with the receive_tip capability can receive tips, and only users with the tip_the_author capability can send tips.

Not yet. However, a premium extension to let you do just that is currently in development.

The plugin and its extensions are yours to edit. You are free to hack them as much as you like. However, you are generally discouraged from doing so, for the following reasons: I cannot provide support to modified versions of the plugin. Editing the code can have unintended consequences. If you do any modifications to the code, any subsequent update will overwrite your changes. Therefore, it is not recommended to simply fire away your favorite editor and hack away themes or plugins. Whenever possible, use an existing hook (action or filter) to modify the behavior of the plugin. Then, add your…

This is usually due to the plugin’s CSS rules hiding your own rules. Don’t just spam !important, instead take the time to study CSS rule specificity. If you are unsure how to apply a particular rule on the plugin’s UIs, you can contact me.

There are several ways to do this, depending on what type of change you want to apply. Please check the documentation under Frontend and Shortcodes → Modifying the UI appearance.

There are two ways to do this: You can create DSWallets\Transaction objects, populate all the fields, then save the obects to the DB. For details, check the documentation under: Developer reference → Working with custom post type objects, and the PHPDocumentor page for the Transaction class for example code. You can use the Legacy PHP-API. This is compatible with previous versions of the plugin.

There are two ways to do this: You can use the WP-REST API. Consult the documentation under: Developer reference → Wallet APIs → WP-REST-API.

It is possible that, for a particular cryptocurrency you may want to replace the wallet backing it with another wallet. For example, you may be offering Bitcoin via the CoinPayments service, and want to start using a Bitcoin core full node wallet. Or you may be using Bitcoin core, and you want to move to a new wallet.dat file. This has become a lot easier with versions 6.0.0 and later, because Currencies and Wallets are now decoupled: Create the new Wallet with the built-in Bitcoin adapter for full nodes. Connect to your new full node wallet. Edit your Currency, in this case, Bitcoin. Set the…

How it works depends on whether the plugin (and its extensions) are network-activated or not. In network-activated setups, users have one balance ber currency, across all sites the network. If the plugin is NOT network-activated, users have a different balance on each site on the network, and each site can have different currencies and wallets. Note that the plugin and its extensions MUST either all be network activated, OR all must be activated on individual blogs. Do not mix-and-match network-activated and non-network-activated wallets plugins. Consult the documentation section Multisite…

While the latest WordPress version is often secure, the same cannot be said about all the WordPress plugins out there. Every day new security vulnerabilities are found involving WordPress plugins. Since WordPress is such a popular software platform, it gets a lot of attention from hackers. Take an immediate backup of the site, and the server it runs on, if possible. This will preserve any traces that the hackers may have left behind. Funds theft is a crime and you can report it to the police, just like any other hack. It’s best if you are prepared beforehand: Keep the software on the site…
